Abstract

Its such great pleasure for me to welcoming all of you on behalf of Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Universitas Airlangga, for the first International Conference on Biotechnology and Food Sciences Conducted in Surabaya, Indonesia, September 11, 2020 by online system through ZOOM platform. Due to the pandemic of COVID19, the conference will be held online in case the physical distancing measures are still in place during current SARS-COV2 pandemic issue. Theme of this conferece is “ Breakthrough in Fisheries, Marine and Food Biotechnology to Support Sustainable Development Programs ”.The 1st International Conference on Biotechnology and Food Sciences (INCOBIFS) aims to communicate the results of research and innovation in basic and applied science, especially in Biotechnology in Agriculture, Fisheries and also Food Sciences. This area includes current situations, e.g. the COVID-19 pandemic, but also to predict our future, e.g. climate change effect in the agriculture and fisheries sector. Technically, we had the conference divided into 2 (two) sessions in general: (1) keynote speaker session and (2) guest speaker session.

After the keynote speaker session, we proceeded to the guest speaker session in which all participants were divided into 5 (five) rooms according to our subtopics for oral and poster presentations:• Marine Bioprospecting and Biomedical Engineering• Marine Biomolecular and Biochemical• Food Process, Functional food and nutraceutical• Marine Phyto-chemistry and Pharmacology• Food Security and food safety• Fisheries and Marine Product and Potential by-products developmentIn this session, every speaker had 15 minutes for presentation and 5 minutes for discussion. Total participants joined in this conference was 100 participants. The aims of this conference is to developed and improve the goals of Universitas Airlangga to be of the Top 500 University in the world by contribute in improving Aquaculture and Fisheries Sustainable sector especially in marine Biotechnology for food security and food safety. We also cooperate with Scopus Indexed Publisher In order to assist students, lecturers and researchers in disseminating their research findings, to publish selected papers which are expected helping societies to implement the findings in the focus on developing aquaculture and fisheries sustainable.The conference was in general quite successful. We strongly hope that all of participants get beneficial from this conference. We thank all participants and organizing committee for their support to this conference and see you in the 2nd INCOBIFS 2021. Dr. Eng.
